Happy Leftover Turkey(s)

Went
down on Webster Place + cut brush in A.M. In P.M. Ma + I went down to
Rollie’s school. They spoke pieces. Walked up with Irma Bunce.

(Aged 17)
Wea. SAT. NOV. 25, 1899 Ther.

Stayed about Graham’s all day. Stayed there all night.

(Aged 18)
Wea. SUN. NOV. 25, 1900 Ther.

Went
over to Grandma’s and put in the window lights. In eve went up to see
Alice. Told her that what I told her concerning Ruth Davis was all a
humbug. xx

(Aged 19)
Wea. MON. NOV. 25, 1901 Ther.

Went to factory and worked at stable.

(Aged 20)
Wea. TUE. NOV. 25, 1902 Ther.

Drew down 2 load of straw to horse barn. Took Alice down to the burg to a church dinner.

*********

Editor's Note: I
went back through the journals to find out who Ruth Davis was and have
reminded myself that she was in fact Miss Ruth Davis of Olean who first
appeared in the May 1900 as a guest of the Bunce family. Allen took
Ruth out driving a few times while Alice was working in her "situation"
in Jamestown back in May and June 1900. I don't know why Allen is
telling Alice about it now much less admitting it was humbug but I'm
guessing this "confession" has something to do with the bad time he had
at Frank Warn's party the night before.

Welcome to the Checkered Chicken!

January 1, 2011, I began this blog to transcribe my great-grandfather Allen Frank Cass' daily diaries in collaboration with my sister. Since that time, the Checkered Chicken has transformed into an online museum for our family's genealogical treasures. We hope as you read along you are reminded of your own family stories and encouraged to preserve your past for your future.

As always, this blog is dedicated to our ancestors and for all to enjoy.
